ALL ALONE: Plus One
Survival isn’t a spectacle—it’s a relentless grind.
When the world collapses not with a bang, but with a suffocating silence, Andrew Preston’s life of routine and comfort is shattered overnight. Alone in a world stripped of power, order, and human connection, Andrew must rely on cold logic, hard-earned skills, and sheer determination to carve out a sanctuary in the wilderness. Every decision—fuel, food, medicine, defense—is a wager against time and entropy.
But survival is more than stockpiling supplies. It’s the daily battle against loneliness, the physical toll of age, and the haunting knowledge that every resource is finite. As Andrew transforms an RV into a fortress and builds a perimeter against the wild, he discovers that true endurance demands more than preparation—it requires resilience, adaptability, and the courage to face the quiet defeat of old age.
Joined by Martha, a fellow survivor with her own scars and strengths, and the loyal dog Lila, Andrew’s fight becomes a testament to the unseen courage of persistence. Together, they navigate the harsh realities of self-sufficiency, forging a partnership that honors the small moments of hope and cooperation that keep humanity alive—even when all seems lost.
All Alone is a gripping, meticulously detailed survival novel that strips away the glamour of apocalypse and reveals the raw, everyday struggle to endure. Perfect for fans of realistic post-apocalyptic fiction, this book will immerse you in the logistics, heartbreak, and triumphs of building a life when the world has gone quiet.

I picked this up on Kindle Unlimited expecting a typical post-apocalyptic survival story, but All Alone turned out to be much quieter, more grounded, and honestly more emotional than I thought it would be.
This isn’t the kind of book with explosions, raiders, or over-the-top drama. Instead, it focuses on the slow, methodical reality of surviving when the world simply… stops. No power. No noise. No people. Just one man and the weight of figuring out how to stay alive another day.
Andrew feels incredibly real. He’s not some action hero or survival expert with endless stamina, he’s aging, practical, sometimes tired, and very human. I really appreciated how the story leans into the small but critical details: rationing fuel, finding medicine, reinforcing the RV, setting up perimeters. It made everything feel authentic, like every choice actually mattered. You can almost feel the mental math he’s constantly doing just to make it through the week.
What surprised me most was how much the loneliness hit. The book really captures that quiet, heavy isolation. It’s not just about food and shelter, it’s about what happens to your spirit when there’s no one to talk to. When Martha and Lila come into the picture, that subtle shift from isolation to companionship felt earned and genuinely heartwarming. Their partnership isn’t flashy or romanticized, it’s built on trust, shared work, and simple human connection.
If you’re looking for high-octane apocalypse chaos, this might feel too slow. But if you like realistic, thoughtful survival stories that focus on resilience, routine, and the emotional cost of endurance, this one really sticks with you.
It’s calm, gritty, and oddly comforting in places. Definitely one of those quiet survival novels that lingers after you finish the last page.
